just wondered which car you would choose if given the choice!
vx220, 291bhp, far faster then exige and way more of a handful to drive and give u more of a buzz
exige, far beta looking, handling is increadble and VERy easy to drive, power band is much higher so have to drive it harder!
big difference in price,
vx220 owes me £8-9k
exige is worth around 30k

Usually I would say the VX220 but that diffuser ruins it proper IMO

I'd go for the Lotus because I think it looks loads better plus it's a Lotus, rather that than VX...

Exige every day of the week. Surely half of the power in the VX is wasted wheelspinning?

exige. although i love vx220's, the exige just seems so much more ''hardcore'' to me. looks the part aswell.

i would chose that exige over that vx.. but i would choose a different vx over that exige.
your mums exige is more of a complete package, but i would prefer the same package in a vx.

mum is actually almost disapointed in the exige cos of how plain and dare i say it "boring" compared to the vx, the power band is so much lower on the vx so more useable!
but the exige u can happly go round corners on near full throttle and it just goes round! grip really is quality, also has traction control but never had it cut in yet!

I had R888s on my silver one. Simply awesome in terms of sheer grip and corner speed.
